***Official*** India in Australia 2014-5

[Howe_zat]

he seems to be injured too

I see

Good job Australia rotate their quicks, isn't it? Otherwise this battery of young pacemen they've got wouldn't be fit.

I got the info from someone on another forum. It isn't in the media, AFAIK.

everything else i've heard sounds like he's on track and already in club cricket, so i seriously question the reliability of that

Aussie comms seem to love Dhoni even though he hasn't done anything in the tests in AUS.

The whole Australlian/English commentary team with the exception of Nass/Athers seems to view Dhoni as the second coming of Laxman in terms of playing innings' in dire situations based on his ODI epics. Really reflects poorly on how much they watch test cricket outside the games they commentate on.

If the bowlers who've gone off really are badly injured and can't bowl too much after this, we simply have to take advantage and get a massive score. Nothing less than 500 imo. Hopefully these two realise that and don't throw it away.

Except for Marsh, rest didn't seem too serious. Possibly heat and humidity taking it's toll.

Really good day. Gutted for Pujara because I think he would've piled them on here, but overall, couldn't have asked for better. Great show by Vijay and Rahane.

 

[Zinzan]

Why do they stop at 5.30 with 9 overs remaining when the light is fine?

Which is ironic considering that these comms would have watched Dhoni on previous AUS tours lol. But yeah I figured, I'm just amazed they keep going on about it though, been talking about him the whole day.

83 overs is pretty crap.

A sign it must be ** hot when Indian batsmen need cold towels to cool them down. Most of them wore their jerseys in the field in NZ last year, even when it was 25 degrees.

LMFAO that'd be winter in Indonesia.

311/4 with two front-line pacers affected by injury sets up a day with a lot of potential for India. Need to cash in tomorrow.

Winter where I live tbh.

 

[Zinzan]

Superb day for India, no ifs and buts about it.

 

[Cevno]

The light seemed fine.

Why can't they just continue playing ? This rule always seems strange.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Awful for Australia that Hazelwood and Marsh have been their best bowlers. Others have been spanked pretty bad.

It really must be hot out there...saw that slow-mo they showed of Marsh running in and the sweat literally spraying off him

 

[vic_orthdox]

Patto isn't back from injury yet. And I've heard sources saying the outlook for him is grave.

Cummins is fit but is up in cotton wool, NSW aren't risking him for whatever reason.

Whatever Trevor.

I don't get it either, perhaps it's the national 9 news they're worried about. They used to often go over time & delay the news broadcast if they needed to.

Indonesia doesn't even have seasons tbf. Just an endless combination of sun and rain.

 

[vic_orthdox]

Nah, the extra half an hour went over the news. Think that might have been why the rule started, but I reckon there'd be other reasons for that ruling now.

 

[CricAddict]

LMFAO that'd be winter in Indonesia.

Ha ha, was thinking the same. 25 degrees is deep winter in Chennai.

 

[Hurricane]

At first I was wondering why haddin to warner
a) stood so far back
b) didn't stand up

then I realised it made warner seem faster so it was probably a good move
